PotatoOS
The "parasite" OS that runs inside your desktop
A complete, modern desktop environment that runs as a single fullscreen application on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Built with Godot Engine and powered by STARCH—a custom programming language designed for OS-level scripting.
Why PotatoOS?
PotatoOS is a "parasite" operating system designed to work on a host OS like Windows or Linux instead of bare-metal.
Runs in your desktop
There's no need to install any complex bootloader or deal with partitions, PotatoOS runs directly on your existing OS.
STARCH scripting language
PotatoOS's applications are built using the interpreted language STARCH, which has a simple syntax with easy system APIs.
Cross-platform
Because PotatoOS is entirely coded and built with Godot Engine, it's completely compatible with all platforms.
Lightweight and portable
No complex virtual machines, no bloated installs (cough cough Microsoft). PotatoOS fits in a single directory and can be moved between systems easily.
Familiar yet unique
A Unix-like filesystem and Bash mirror provide a comfortable environment, while features like the STARCH pipeline operator bring fresh ideas to scripting.
